What is it called?When are two events considered disjoint? What is another term for disjoint?What is the probability of two mutually exclusive events? What is meant by the union of two or more events? Illustrate on a Venn diagram.State the addition rule for disjoint events. Illustrate on a Venn diagram.State the general addition rule for unions of two events.Explain the difference between the rules in 9 and 10.Summarize the 5 Rules of Probability.
